Roof Replacement, City of Fort Myers Fire Station #15, 9700 Treeline Ave. , Ft. Myers, FL 33913

The City of Fort Myers has issued a solicitation for a comprehensive roof replacement project at Fire Station #15, located at 9700 Treeline Ave. in Fort Myers, Florida. The procurement requires a qualified contractor to remove and dispose of existing roofing materials down to the original decking, replacing the current barrel clay tile roof with a 1" standing seam metal roof in a standard color. Key deliverables include installing new 7" K-Style white gutters around the entire building, re-nailing decking per code, and replacing compromised roof sheeting. Bidders must hold a current Florida state license and be prepared to submit evidence of financial data, previous experience, and current commitments. The electronic bidding process is scheduled with a question submission deadline of February 3, 2025, at 2:00 PM, and a final bid submission deadline of February 10, 2025, at 2:00 PM through the OpenGov platform. Vendors must comply with comprehensive insurance requirements, including workers' compensation, commercial general liability, and comprehensive automobile liability, with specific coverage limits. The project requires a contingency of 20 roof decking sheets in the base bid, with time and material rates for replacing rotten decking.

The solicitation includes specific compliance requirements, particularly a Human Trafficking Affidavit mandated by Section 787.06(13) of the Florida Statutes, which requires contractors to attest that they do not use coercion for labor or services. While no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are explicitly mentioned, the bid does include local preference considerations. Contractors must comply with E-Verify employment eligibility and public entity crime statutes. The project requires comprehensive warranties for materials and labor, with detailed installation specifications for metal panels, flashings, and roof penetrations. Though no specific budget range is provided in the documents, the project involves a complete roof replacement for a fire station, suggesting a substantial investment. Bidders are required to provide pricing for a standard color roof and an alternate line item for bond issuance. The contact for the project is Deputy Fire Chief James Hayden, who can be reached at 239-707-8443 or Jhayden@CityFtMyers.com for any additional information or clarifications.
